GOP senator to unveil findings on female athlete 'helplessness' in transgender sports fight
'I’ve wondered what’s the point in even racing,' female swimmer says
By Julia Johnson
A report detailing the "helplessness" felt by female students due to biological males, or transgender women, participating with their female sports teams was to be released Thursday after a congressional investigation into proposed Title IX changes by the Biden administration.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., the ranking member on the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), is expected to release the findings of the committee staff's investigation into the proposed changes and their effect on female sports in a letter to his committee colleagues. The investigation included interviews with dozens of people, including female athletes and coaches, parents, industry experts, doctors and representatives from higher-education institutions, Cassidy said.
Title IX is designed to prevent sex-based discrimination in education and related activities that are recipients of federal money.
Last year, President Biden's administration proposed a rule that would expand Title IX to include gender identity along with biological sex. The term "gender identity" is used to describe by which gender an individual chooses to identify.
"They feel helpless," Cassidy told Fox News Digital in an interview on Wednesday, describing the feelings he heard from female athletes.
"This is kind of a theme that we got: 'Why am I even trying? I don't have any hope whatsoever,'" he said.
The HELP committee report details the story of a woman at Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia, who described her motivational decline following the addition of a transgender woman, who was biologically male, to her swim team.
"It felt unfair and demotivating … to even want to try [or] to want to swim better," the unnamed female athlete is quoted as saying.
Sixteen of 17 female swimmers on the team ultimately penned a letter to the athletic director in which they relayed "feeling manipulated and scared."
"Our lives have been consumed by this issue. We cannot think about our classes as we sit in lectures, we cannot enjoy our practices," the women wrote....
==========================
Biden hates women. He is allowing a few transgenders who could compete as males to compete and dominate in women's sports. It is SCARY, DEPRESSING, and STRESSFUL for hundreds of young women athletes. Transgender athletes competing with biological women is against basic fairness.
